Field Trip to Capilano River Hatchery

Ms. Young's Kindergarten and Grade 1 Students from A.R. Lord braved the rainy weather and visited the Capilano River Hatchery in North Vancouver last week. They were lead by Issac, the Fisheries Technician with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, for a behind the scenes tour of the tanks and hatchery. He explained how they maintain and manage the salmon through the different stages of growth, and their release into the river.
